Since then, it’s less than half that (and 2010-2012 accounts for the bulk of what has been published.
Publishers put out an average of 23 per year from 2000-2009.
I suppose we’re taking notice of this now more and more because, as I mentioned, licensed movie adaptations are fewer and fewer. And I bet that thing had more than 57.0 average daily players when it went bye-bye. I didn’t hear this level of concern when Rory McIlroy PGA Tour was removed from sale and re-download from its console marketplaces (as well as EA Access) back in the spring. ‘Game you didn’t want is no longer for sale.’Īll of that adds up to, as one colleague in here dryly noted on Thursday, “game you didn’t want is no longer for sale.” And furthermore, if you already had it, but in digital form only, you can still redownload it through the marketplace where you bought it. I used November because playership spiked in December, a month in which, lo and behold, both games were offered free by Humble Bundle in the middle of the month. Steamcharts lists an average of 54.7 players of Hobbit for November (this is PC only, I know) and 57.0 for Rings in the same month, with peaks for both around 150.
I said “for some reason,” above because not only is the explanation very simple, we’re not talking about LEGO Silent Hills or LEGO NCAA Football here. Interactive Entertainment were answered with a boilerplate non-answer and no reason why they were taken down, it’s no mystery nor scandal: The licensing terms for selling these games expired at the end of the year. Even though questions sent to Warner Bros. These games were, obviously, licensed adaptations of movies - which used to be a very common thing in video games but is less so now. In a story that has, for some reason, managed to captivate the discussion of video games the past two days, yes, Lego : Lord of the Rings and Lego: the Hobbit are no longer listed for sale on digital marketplaces.
